the last ones in there for the heck of it
i dont have the side grllls yes though:-/ but will soon enough

It looks pretty good man. I don't know if I understand what you did with the gap on top? It doesn't look like theres a gap so it seems to have worked. Just wondering if you could enlighten me on that part.

when u install the grillcraft grill on the top portion its made so the two top bolts hook to ur stock grill...so theres this gap on top if u take it out(stock grill) like a line...so i took some double sided tape and while it was rolled on one side, i sprayed it black to match the black grill...and just stuck it on the top portion where there was a gap/..lol srry i ddint know how to explain it and still dont but do u get what im saying?

i wish they would just replace the stock grille.

ah yeah...i understand...you filled in the gap with painted tape. sounds like it might not look good, but it sure does. Is the tape still sticky as to allow dirt to adhere to it? you say you painted it while on the roll....so while it was on its side somewhat like this > @ < you painted it like that? I think i understand.


and yeah, i too wish they would just replace the stock grille.

That's odd, when I installed my grills, I didn't have any issues with a gap on the top one. And I didn't use the stock grill either.

sexy :love:

i had no gap issues with mine either and i didn't use the stocker.

as you can see on this pic i took about 5 minutes after i finished it.

take the tC emblem off man.

thanks for the replies guys...and hmm i wish mine didnt have that gap to stat out with :-/!
total bummer...i think i might go back and see if i could do it w/o the tape..did either of u guys screw at the top anywhere?

i used the metal clips to "pinch" screw it to the top. i only drilled a hole for the bottom.

Same here

hmm what kind? got a pic or someting

what kind of what, the clips?
the same clips that came with the grill.

infact i got the install instructions from a Scionlife thread, here:

Exact same thread I used to install my grills.
